Office Administration, Reception & Facilities Coordinator - Trainee

Start your career with Datacom

Looking to take your first step into a professional career, build a strong foundation of transferable skills, and work for a company that genuinely cares about its people?

At Datacom, we’re looking for a motivated and people‑focused Office Administration, Reception & Facilities Coordinator to join our Canberra office. No prior office experience is required — just a positive attitude, willingness to learn, and pride in doing great work.

If you’re currently working (or have worked) in retail, hospitality, customer service or similar, and enjoy working independently, being trusted with responsibility, and making a place feel welcoming and organised — this could be the perfect next step.

What you’ll be doing

This is a varied, hands‑on role where you’ll quickly become the heartbeat of the office. You’ll work largely autonomously, with support and training along the way, and plenty of opportunities to grow your skills.

Your responsibilities will include:

Welcoming visitors and being the friendly face of the Canberra office

• Managing reception, incoming calls and general enquiries
• Keeping the office running smoothly — supplies, facilities, meeting rooms and vendors
• Supporting team members with day‑to‑day admin and office needs
• Helping create a positive, safe and well‑organised workplace
• Assisting with internal events, meetings and onboarding activities
• Learning new systems, processes and professional workplace skills

This role is perfect for you if you;

• Are keen to build a solid career foundation, not just get a job

• Enjoy working independently and taking ownership of your space
• Love helping people and creating a welcoming environment
• Are organised, reliable, and take pride in doing things well
• Have experience in customer‑facing roles (retail, hospitality, service, etc.)
• Want to learn professional office skills that will open doors long‑term

We don’t expect you to know everything — we’ll support your learning.
